On Friday 3rd July, from 4pm–8pm, we're delighted to be welcoming Half Penny to Symondsbury Estate for an evening of great food, drinks and live music, all set against the backdrop of the Dorset countryside.⁠

Half Penny is the family-run farm of Julian, Connor and Chiara, nestled amongst four acres of Devon countryside. Formerly Head Chefs at River Cottage HQ, Connor and Chiara have built their reputation around honest, seasonal food, produced with care and a genuine connection to the land.⁠

Their off-grid farm is home to flourishing market gardens, orchards, polytunnels and a happy collection of free-ranging birds and woodland-raised pigs. Everything they do celebrates the journey from field to fork.⁠

For this pop-up, they'll be serving their much-loved hot dogs, cooked over embers and made entirely from scratch — from the soft steamed potato buns to the sausages and all the carefully crafted toppings.⁠

Chicken hot dog⁠
Pork hot dog⁠
Vegetarian option⁠
Gluten-free options available⁠
£10 each.⁠

We'll have drinks available throughout the evening, live music on the terrace, and plenty of space to settle in and enjoy a relaxed summer evening with friends and family.⁠

No need to book — simply join us on the terrace from 4pm.⁠

We look forward to welcoming you.

This time of year, the Estate feels at its very best.

Wildflowers line the paths, the evenings linger a little longer and every walk opens onto another view across the Dorset hills.

Bring walking boots, take the long route through the Holloways and stop for lunch afterwards.

An evening of food, conversation and inspiring stories awaits at our Summer Supper this June… ✨🌿

In just two weeks’ time, we’ll be gathering around the table at Symondsbury Estate for a very special summer evening with renowned environmental campaigner, author and sustainability pioneer Julia Hailes inside our beautiful 14th-century Tithe Barn.

Julia has spent more than four decades at the forefront of environmental change - co-authoring the million-selling Green Consumer Guide, receiving both a UN award and an MBE for her work, and campaigning tirelessly for a more sustainable future. But her journey has also been full of extraordinary moments, humour and adventure… from dressing up as a frying pan in Paris, to challenging McDonald’s executives in Chicago, to crewing on a luxury racing yacht in the Caribbean. 🌎

Warm, candid and hugely entertaining, Julia’s talk promises an inspiring evening of stories, reflections and laughter - all shared around the table over a seasonal two-course supper created by Head Chef Jim Wanless using beautiful estate-grown produce. 🌾

🌿 Saturday 13th June
🌿 6.30pm til late
🌿 The Tithe Barn, Symondsbury Estate
🌿 £40 per person

Your ticket includes a welcome drink, canapés, supper and Julia’s guest talk.

Tickets are selling quickly and we’d love you to join us for what’s shaping up to be a truly memorable summer evening. 💚

We love our trees across the Estate and this half term we’re celebrating them with our Tree Trail! 🌳💕

Join us this half term until Sunday 31st May, where families are invited to explore, discover and enjoy the magic of nature at Symondsbury Estate. 🍃

Tree Trail packs are £4 per child and available from the Visitor Centre.

Do you create things that stop people in their tracks?

Exceptional small-batch food and drink. Beautifully designed homeware, or rare vintage treasures for your home. Original illustration. Handmade ceramics. Artisan consumables. Thoughtfully crafted toys, skincare and one-of-a-kind finds people won’t discover on the high street. Or perhaps you’re a grower producing festive plants that make the perfect seasonal gift.

Are you a small brand built around craftsmanship, originality and products with real soul? Do you draw inspiration from nature, value sustainable materials and believe in making things properly?

If so, there’s still time to apply for a pitch at the Symondsbury Estate Christmas Market - but applications close soon.

A much-loved part of Christmas in Dorset, our carefully curated market attracts visitors from far and wide in search of a memorable festive day out. We select a limited number of makers, growers and artisan producers whose work deserves to be discovered and celebrated.

We’re looking for hidden gems. Original design. Exclusive products. Exceptional craftsmanship. Things that excite, delight and feel truly special.
Applications close at midnight on Sunday 31st May.

Apply today!
